If you like this, I am selling a MUCH improved version at my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/de/shop/ComposeMantis
That version will not go to Thingiverse unfortunately because I have had several people sell derivatives of my designs, so I have decided not to publish the more complex stuff anymore.

I am setting this to a different license; Attribution - Non-Commercial - No Derivatives. I am sick and tired of finding derivatives of my published designs in other peoples' Etsy shops. If this does not stop, I won't publish designs again.

My synth corner is pretty crowded, and the Kronos 88 rules it as the centerpiece. I wanted to integrate an iPad, to use as a control surface, score/leadsheet display, and also for the occasional synth plugin (Animoog, for example :-)). There are some commercial iPad holders for the Kronos which look pretty nice but are also rather expensive, so I created my own :-) It is slide-able so you can move it from left to right to center, which is nice if you only need it part-time.
The hardest thing about this was really the bottom contour that sits on top of the Kronos and slides over the faders, knobs etc. It's still not perfect, but quite usable for me. Now that it's done, there's tons of practical stuff that might be mounted on top of the Kronos; an Apple Magic Trackpad, for example, or a small synth (Blofeld, Shruthi, Minitaur, Erebus, ...), or or or. Therefore I share the model as STLs and Sketchup, so if someone wants to modify the top part to hold something else, knock yourselves out :-)
Building this is very simple. Just cut some 12mm aluminium rod stock to a length of 241mm (the iPad Pro 9.7" supposedly has a length of exactly 240mm, but I'm measuring 241), print out both parts of the model, and glue the aluminium stock in with epoxy glue.
